AUSTIN

Austie still holds onto the title of chunky baby. Although he weighs a little less than Caleb, he is much more "rolly" and chubby. He is definitly our most social and outgoing baby. When the door opens, he runs to see who it is and to say hi. He loves on pretty much anyone who will pick him up and gives big hugs, kisses, high fives, and all with a smile on his face. He is also our designated "nursery bully," whereas if he wants your toy...he will get it...by any means necessary. He can now say uh oh (fitting for him), mommy, daddy, up, hi, and no. He loves the word no. He will look at you like he is having a long conversation and you should know what he is saying but is still sounds like jibberish. He will pick up his play phone, hold it to his ear and say "Hi" just like his mom! He loves to dance when he hears music and actually has pretty good rythm. He sways his hips and waves his hands like he's doing the robot. He is learning to jog and goes up and down the hallway, stopping to say hi to anyone he sees. Austie is also really good at playing by himself, but he also really likes to show his brothers how much he loves them. He will give them big hugs (even when they don't want it) and try to snuggle them on the ground. He then squeezes his eyes closed and holds on tight like he wants to show them how excited he is to hug them. It's so sweet!
